(And no, not the band Cake. So sorry to disappoint.)
In the last five days, I've gone to a bachelorette party, a wedding, three birthday parties, and a co-worker's anniversary celebration. It will probably surprise no one that cake was available for all of these occasions. On top of that, there were cupcakes in the break room at work today. I currently have buttercream frosting spilling from my eye sockets, and frankly, let me tell you, it's pretty disgusting.
I'll not pretend to understand why I can hardly walk three feet without stumbling over decadent baked goods and almost getting overwhelmed by an on-the-spot sugar high, but at the moment, I think I'd be perfectly OK with not seeing or hearing of cake again for approximately three and a half years.

Sounds to me like you had an opportunity to have cake and eat it too!
That expression always did kind of puzzle me. Why would you have cake if you couldn't eat it? Just to sit there and stare at how pretty it is?
Yes, me too. And how could you eat cake if you did not have it? Are you eating some special fantasy cake that does not exist? Or are you eating someone else's cake (and hence, cake that you do not have)? I would think once you eat their cake, it becomes yours. Like in office space:
"You're taking money?"
"Yes."
"That's not yours?"
"It becomes ours."
Yes, cakes are pretty and once you cut it up and stuff it down your gullet its ruined forever!
Cake is very much over-rated.
(Unless it is a white two layer cake with lemon filling in the middle and lemon frosting.)
